I can't disagree. First entry. Did you have an idea for me on this to keep the sky blue while getting lighter on the trees, etc?

A tree limb was in the upper corner. Got the attention. I wanted the whole photo trees and all but that was one too many.

Thanks

See the green water of the river? This high bridge and close position is hard to combine. The south sun keep you from seeing the rust on the bridge.

Thanks

12 hours later would have been different. This is a hard shot and I wanted blue sky. The sun angle and the distractions taking the shot from the other side made this a hard subject to capture from this side.

Thanks

That tree limb got the comments up in the corner. Crop next time.

Thanks. That tree limb really got the attention. Better next time.

Left the tree limb in the shot. Thanks

This was a hard photo. Walking out on a bridge to get the photo. The trees were thick at this angle where I could get most of the train bridge. The limb at the upper right was left this time. The massive old bridge was the idea. No train on it for a while. pop

Did not crop the tree limb.

I did not crop the tree limb in the corner. My first try at this.

My first time for this. The tree limb in the corner is distracting.

Thanks for the input.

The vast majority of the ground is too dark for me, I'm afraid.

This is such a pretty picture, but the details of the back hills are lost, as are the trees to the left. It take a little away from the impact. Saying that, hopefully it's only my monitor.
